For months, maybe years now, fans of WWE have been hoping, praying that Montez Ford would leave his Street Profits partner Angelo Dawkins behind Marty Jannetty-style to become the promotion’s next great singles star. On paper, it makes sense, right? Dawkins is beyond charismatic, built like a top guy at 6-foot-1, 232 pounds, and after […]

After years of fielding brand-specific women’s championship belts for RAW and SmackDown, WWE officially debuted not one but two new women’s championship straps, with the Red Brand getting the WWE Women’s World Championship and the Blue Brand taking the WWE Women’s Championship, which is a tad confusing – maybe that’s why Charlotte Flair leapfrogged Bianca […]

On SmackDown, Bianca Belair did everything right; she expressed her feeling to Adam Pearce about being overlooked for a rematch with Asuka but promised not to interrupt her championship coronation ceremony in order to be a gracious loser and a good spot. … but then Charlotte Flair returned for the first time since April and […]

After looking like the next big thing since pretty much the moment she debuted on the main roster, Tiffany Stratton has finally been given a chance to state her case as the next big thing in the WWE Women’s Division. Winning the NXT Women’s Championship at Battleground after Indi Hartwell vacated the strap due to […]

After winning – some might say stealing – the RAW Women’s Championship from Bianca Belair at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, Asuka was set to upgrade her strap from the familiar red and gold belt fans have come to know and love thanks to champions like Becky Lynch and Bayley to a brand new […]

After watching her record-breaking reign with the RAW Women’s Championship come to an unceremonious end at Night of Champions at the chili pepper mist-soaked hands of Asuka, fans had to expect that Bianca Belair was eventually going to take a shot at “The Empress of Tomorrow” in order to get back what she felt should […]

After weeks of anticipation, WWE delivered fans a regular night of champions at the fortunately named Night of Champions, with four titles on the line and bragging rights galore up for grabs. Fans found out who will hold the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship, if Mustafa Ali could prove he belongs in the ring with […]

At Night of Champions, WWE decided to run back one of the better matches from WrestleMania 39 weekend and have Bianca Belair defend her RAW Women’s Championship once more against “The Empress of Tomorrow,” Asuka. On paper, the set-up was sound; Asuka interrupted Belair’s championship celebration in her hometown of Knoxville, Tenessee on RAW by […]

Becky Lynch has had one of the most storied careers in WWE history. She is a former 4-time SmackDown and 2-time Raw Women’s Champion, Women’s Tag Team Champion, 2019 Royal Rumble Winner, and the Sixth Women’s Triple Crown Champion. Honestly, there isn’t a whole lot that Lynch hasn’t accomplished during her wrestling career. Along with […]

Typically, when a member of a tag team wrestles a singles champion at a “Premium Live Event,” their chances of securing the win are rather low. Sure, there have been plenty of champions who came from the world of tag team wrestling, with Shawn Michaels leaving Marty Jennetty behind to become an all-time great singles […]

Bianca Belair is effectively one win away from making WWE history. If she can secure the dub against IYO SKY at Backlash and WWE doesn’t pull some 24/7 Championship/Money in the Bank-type behavior, Belair will wake up on Sunday as the longest reigning Women’s Champion of the modern era, with her 401-day reign exceeding all […]

After watching Paul “Triple H” Levesque announce Bianca Belair as the third pick in the WWE Draft, with “The Est of WWE” heading to SmackDown in the first true twist of the proceedings, the current RAW Women’s Champion called into SmackDown to deliver a message to the WWE Universe and may have let it slip […]

After breaking down the festivities of the 2023 running of the WWE Draft, Paul “Triple H” Levesque announced the four picks in the first round, which saw six performers find their new homes. First came Roman Reigns, who, unsurprisingly, was selected first overall by the SamckDown brand alongside The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, and Paul Heyman. […]

WWE is ready to shake things up again. The WWE Draft kicks off Friday on SmackDown and is set to usher in a new era in the company. Since Triple H took over creative last year, fans have wondered if a WWE Draft would happen in the future. After announcing its return a few weeks […]

In what has become an increasingly common occurrence over the past year, Vince McMahon and WWE as a whole have been sued by a disgruntled former writer for “alleged discrimination and retaliation” against a Black female writer for “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” used in the scripts for Black wrestlers including Bianca Belair and Apollo […]

After taking care of business against Damage CTRL in an impromptu trio match on Monday Night RAW, Bianca Belair was feeling pretty good hanging out with her tag team partners, Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez. All three women secured wins over prospective challengers for their straps, and for Belair, specifically, she got valuable reps against […]

When did Bianca Belair know she was destined to be a WWE Superstar? Was it when she initially signed on to train for the company? When she was called up to the main roster? When she became a champion for the first time? Or how about when she debuted for NXT, first as Binky Blair, […]

When Dakota Kai took the ring against Bianca Belair for a non-title match on Monday Night RAW, the bout effectively served two purposes for Damage CTRL. Sure, Kai certainly wanted to pull out of a win, as it would have placed her near the front of the line for a shot at the RAW Women’s […]

When Rhea Ripley came out on Monday Night RAW to issue a soft challenge to Bianca Belair two days after winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship off of Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, it drew a variety of different reactions from the WWE Universe. Sure, after entertaining over 80,000 fans on Saturday evening at SoFi Stadium, […]

After losing her fourth-straight WrestleMania title match in a very compelling match against Bianca Belair, it’s safe to say Asuka isn’t in the best place right now within the WWE Universe. With her fellow Kabuki Warrior, Kairi Sane, currently a free agent after a successful run with the IWGP Women’s Championship in Stardom/New Japan Pro […]

After holding the Raw Women’s Championship for a full calendar year, Bianca Belair had very little to fight for heading into WrestleMania 39; her legacy as one of the most dominant Women’s Champions in WWE history was more or less set, her fans love her to an incredible degree, and outside of adding yet another […]

When Rhea Ripley decided to challenge Charlotte Flair, not Bianca Belair, to a match at WrestleMania 39 via her win at The Royal Rumble, it all but guaranteed that “The Est of WWE” would not be headlining either night of “The Showcase of the Immortals.” Fortunately, Belair is still the RAW Women’s Champion, having surpassed […]

Despite being a featured player down the proverbial stretch in 2022 leading into a pair of matches against Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Championship first on RAW and then at the 2023 Royal Rumble, Alexa Bliss has been missing from action for much of 2023, with no matches booked in all of February or […]

Though it strangely didn’t receive much hype during the RAW broadcast, which is surprising, considering she was featured prominently on the show, Bianca Belair has officially become the longest-reigning black champion in WWE history, surpassing MVP’s 2007-08 United States Championship run by three days and counting. Discussing what the title reign means to her on […]

After securing a decisive win over Chelsea Green before having a very strange interaction with Asuka after the match, Bianca Belair caught up with Cathy Kelley on RAW Talk to discuss her bizarre relationship with “The Emperess of Tomorrow.” “I’m really just trying to figure out what’s going on,” Bianca Belair said. “I mean, Asuka […]

There was a lot of the line heading into the 2023 edition of the WWE Elimination Chamber. For one thing, the match is one of the more grueling across WWE’s slate of gimmick matches, effectively affording the winner some serious bragging right moving forward but more importantly, securing the dub also punched a ticket to […]

If you just started watching WWE in 2022, especially at or just after WrestleMania 38, you’d think Bianca Belair has long been one of the company’s biggest stars. Nicknamed the “EST of WWE” for a reason, Belair won 77.4 percent of her matches in 2022, has gone on to win 80 percent of her matches […]

Heading into RAW, it looked like Bianca Belair was in for a relatively easy night. Sure, she might have to come out, say hello to the Brooklyn crowd, talk up the excitement surrounding Elimination Chamber and maybe even work a match for the fans against some performer looking to test their mettle against the “EST […]

When RAW came on the air, who but Becky Lynch – and Adam Pearce – stood in the middle of the ring with a message to deliver to the entire WWE Universe after securing a huge steel cage win over Bayley the previous week. “The Man has come around to Brooklyn,” Lynch said. “So that […]

After securing a win alongside Raquel Rodriguez in a make-shift tag team match against Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville, Liv Morgan and her partner went to the back for an interview with Megan Morant for the WWE SmackDown LowDown. Asked about what it will be like to go from teammates to enemies in a little […]

Though she didn’t make an appearance on the first edition of RAW post-Royal Rumble, Bianca Belair sent in a video package to the fine folks at WWE to let the rest of the women in the locker room know that she’s ready to take on any challenger who’s willing to put in the work. “Now, […]

Bianca Belair found herself in an interesting spot heading into the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble. Set to face off against her friend-turned-foe Alexa Bliss, Belair had a glass vase smashed over her head in a joint interview with Byron Saxton, had her body brutalized outside of the ring by Bliss in their first championship match, […]

When Bianca Belair was preparing for her RAW Women’s Championship match against Alexa Bliss, she was mildly confident in being able to retain the top strap on WWE’s Monday night show. Sure, Bliss had attacked her with a flower vase at the end of a sitdown interview with Byron Saxton the week before, but Belair […]

The year 2022 saw the rise of a handful of female WWE wrestlers across several promotions. You had some female wrestlers switch promotions and are doing better now because of it. We saw midcard talent finally get their chance at the big one and succeed. Overall, 2022 was an incredible year for women’s wrestling. This […]

After nearly hitting Bianca Belair with the Sister Abigail following her win over Bayley to become the #1 contender for the RAW Women’s Championship, Alexa Bliss was asked to take a seat to talk about what happened alongside Byron Saxton and “The EST of WWE.” Were Bliss’ actions intentional, a clear shot at a performer […]

After having some fun in a five-on-five game of war at Survivor Series, Bianca Belair has to get back to the business of defending her RAW Women’s Championship, the title she’s held since April, but who in the WWE Universe deserves the next shot at The EST? Could it be Bayley? Maybe, but after two-straight […]

It has been over four years since Alexa Bliss held singles gold in WWE, excluding, of course, her minute run with the 24/7 Championship in the match where it truly jumped the shark earlier this year. Now granted, Bliss hasn’t been without gold for long, as she has held the RAW Tag Team Championships on […]

After a hard-hitting weekend of WarGames and a week of television that dealt with the corresponding fallout, the next chapter of WWE’s women’s division came into frame on Monday Night RAW, when not one but two matches were held in a mini-tournament to decide on the next contender for Bianca Balair’s championship. The festivities started […]

Becky Lynch really wanted to succeed as a heel in WWE. She changed up her hairstyle, raided Seth Rollins’ closet for all sorts of strange, angular, heelish costumes that would make David Bowie blush, and even talked down the crowd from time to time, but in the end, putting new Becky against Sasha Banks never […]
